Tension ssit's all that I know
I got te[A]nsion out in traffic
I got te[D]nsion in my office
I got te[A]nsion and it's everywhere that I [E]go[A]
(Spoken)
A[A]fter the bad guy killed off all the un[E]derdeveloped characters
Th[F#m]e good guy put a bullet right throu[A]gh his head
The screenwriter stood up and told us that all the lo[E]ose ends had been
tied, justice is irr[F#m]elevant
Violent problems need vi[D]olent solutions
'Cause in America[A] we like our bad guys dead [E]
It's called box office, baby
It's bigger than the damn Stones [A] [D] [E] [A]
(Spoken)
[A]Well they roped off all of my problems and pointed their f[E]ingers at addiction
'Cause they k[F#m]now if you're doin' the po[D]intin' [A]no one's lookin' at you
But you know this war on drugs it's funded by the Tobacco and A[E]lcohol Commissions
It's not what drugs [F#m]you're strung out on they care about as much as w[D]hose
[A]You see people....people still l[E]ove drugs
Y'all do anyway[D]...I'm over it[A] [D] [E] [A]

Tension ssit's all that I know
I got tension in my classroom
I got tension in my courtroom
I got tension and it's everywhere that I go
(Spoken)
[A]When rock and roll first came around the pr[E]eachers all went crazy
But [F#m]soon that wasn't enough to br[D]ing people in the d[A]oor
[A]So now they jump on any scandal that t[E]hey can to try and save me
[F#m]'Cause they know I don't buy that c[D]rap about the Devil's m[A]usic anymore [E]
[A]Republicans[D]
That's what scares people th[E]ese days
That and Democrats [A] [D] [E] [A]
